Civil Service Fast Track Apprenticeship [2018]

I'm also applying to policy. I wasn't going to apply at first because I thought all of the schemes were irrelevant to politics (the subject I would study at university), but the new scheme is great. As nerdy as it may sound, "preparing and drafting information for senior officials, such as Government Ministers" would be really interesting.

I currently live in Chester but I'm going to be applying for London. Not only is that where most of the jobs are, I feel that moving to London would help socially. By not going to university you miss out on making friends through halls and societies, but because of the high rent in London I would probably end up living in a shared flat where it would be easy to make friends. Also, I'd rather not live with my parents for any longer than necessary.

Been really eager to apply for this since a friend suggested it last year but unfortunately i just missed it when i came to apply. Going to be applying for the Business & Commercial in Liverpool. Been doing loads of research & am slightly worried about the online tests. 6 minutes to complete 36 numerical questions seems impossible as that equates to 10 seconds per question? But guess it must be quality over quantity.

Good luck everyone

I think you can apply for more than 1 but they chose which of those would suit you best.

You have to rank all the schemes in order of preference, and this is the same for location, though you don't have to select all of them. I've just finished the online parts of it, we get the results back within 8 weeks.
